Seagrass is a natural fiber harvested from aquatic plants that grow in shallow coastal waters, particularly in Southeast Asia. Though often referred to as “grass,” it is technically a flowering marine plant. Once dried, seagrass is strong, flexible, and resistant to water and stains, making it a popular material in traditional weaving practices.

It is commonly used in home goods such as baskets, rugs, mats, trays, and furniture. Its durability, earthy texture, and ability to be woven by hand make it a favorite for both rustic and minimalist interiors. Seagrass is biodegradable, renewable, and typically harvested with low-impact methods, aligning it with natural and eco-conscious design.
